If you find large households overwhelming but are concerned about living in a house with very few men, a small-scale house with 9 residents or fewer and a male ratio of at least 40% offers the perfect balance of peace and comfort.
With fewer residents, there is less stress regarding shared space congestion or noise, and the balanced gender ratio makes conversation and socializing in the living room feel natural. Along the Chuo, Keio, and Tokyu lines, which offer easy access to the city center, it is easy to find properties with private rooms including utilities, making it easy for first-timers to plan their budget.
- If you prioritize a comfortable environment for men, you can browse a wide selection of share houses with a higher male ratio.
- If you prioritize the tranquility of a small group, please also see our list of small-scale houses (9 residents or fewer).
